About this map

Buffalo Run Creek and Prairie Dog Creek define the drainage patterns of this Sheridan County landscape, where the high plains meet the intricate breaks of various draws and gulches. The map reveals the infrastructure of a working ranching or agricultural corridor, notably marked by the long path of the Ninemile Ditch and a network of rural routes such as Meade Creek Rd and Murphy Gulch Rd.

Named landmarks like Hamburger Draw, Duncan Draw, and Murphy Gulch suggest a history of local land use and family-named terrain features typical of the Wyoming territory. The presence of Jim Creek and Pompey Creek in the southern portion of the survey highlights the dense network of small waterways that supported early settlement and movement through these townships. This topographic record captures the transition from established water rights to modern road access in the early 21st century.
